Sniper is not Australian

[yvanne]

If you've read the latest TF2 comic, you would know that the Sniper is actually born a kiwi (a New Zealander) which means all his Australian themed cosmetics and weapons are invalid. Oh, and that accent is fake too.

[ but seriously, do you actually think valve will change the snipers description to "new zealand" instead of australian? ]

The comics are not canon. While I think Sniper's new backstory is now just complete bull, it feels like a plot device. It was only used to make the story continue. Personally, I'm just going to let this bit pass while I process that New Zealanders are the equavalent to mole people... Overall, my reaction to Sniper's new backstory:

Here's some good/bad/bull news; the comics are indeed cannon.

Oh lord.
Valves new concept art for the Sniper:

"The Kiwi Cannon" - fires a projectile at enemies at deals damage based on radius. The more hats they have equipped, the more damage caused.

To my knowledge the comics were noncanon. It appears my knowledge was wrong. Up until this comic I've been taking the comics as canon, but #4... well, the post did say there was going to be plot twists.

Another thing, in the comic, Heavy speaks so proper. What happened to his broken speech? And Scout says Heavy doesn't talk much. That may aply to the comics, but in-game... why won't he shut up (everything he says is still australium [seem what I did there :P]). In-fact, Heavy talked so proper, I thought it was Spy disguised, until Heavy mentioned that Scout's dad disappears alot.

Messaggio originale di TF2 Official Wiki:

Hailing from the lost country of New Zealand and raised in the unforgiving Australian outback, the Sniper is a tough and ready crack shot.

I don't see why people are getting so worked up about his origin, I think it's pretty cool. And I'd still consider him Australian as he was just a wee lad when he got sent there.

[Mr. Platypus]

Well his accsent is not fake, he was raise in a austrailian home so he would speak in the accsent, when he was in new zealand he was a baby and would pick up the accsent til he could start talking

Well, I think it's interesting... I can never look at Meet the Sniper the same again, knowing Mun-dee's parents are not his real parents.

I have a comeback! He is not from New Zealand, at least not his in-game self. Valve also stated the comics are not canon. So, Comic Sniper is from New Zealand, In-Game Sniper is from Australia.

Say goodbye to your australian thened cosmetics, and say hello to kiwi themed cosmetic. With your very own kiwi and probably sheeps.

A Team Fortress 2 update has been released:

The major changes include:

- Replaced the "Fruit Shoot" with the "Kiwi Shoot"
- Replaced the "Koala Compact" with the "Sheep Socket" [/quote]
[/quote]






no, there is no "sheep socket" or "kiwi shoot," there are still the originals
